Love Lost

Love Lost

A Poem by Greg the Bard

Love Lost

 

                      When time has killed ones taste for love

The issue is not maintained in grace

For time plays a game with a person’s soul

When they are looking forward to getting old

 

The things one loses as we can remember

Come up short in late September

A gesture here, a nod or wink

The feel of a touch now gone extinct

 

Guarded the secretes we bequeath

Time trots on under our feet

But moments in time we lose our count

A life time missed now out of order mount

 

Children come and children go

A lifetime shared by two in love

Wonder wanes as two grow apart

Less the caption for loves just reward

 

Old now I grow unable to tread

Body less useful than kept in the head

Sad is the time when a man realizes

He no longer holds true the love that matters
